I have been working on some refreshed versions of Coda Documentation. You can find a build process for a Coda server and client from scratch at: http://info.pittsburgh.intel-research.net/project/isr/coda/chapter06a.html and http://info.pittsburgh.intel-research.net/project/isr/coda/chapter06b.html I don't claim that they are complete, as they are (always) a work in progress, but they are much more accurate than what is generally available. It goes into detail for setting up a Coda installation on RedHat systems (2.4.xx kenrels), including the little "gotchas" that are normally not mentioned. Though, I imagine that my documents are applicable to any unix/linux style system/distro. Hope this helps some folks.
